We seek VAT exemption for personal care services to bolster the struggling sector, enhance affordability, and facilitate accessibility. Additionally, it aligns with the urgent need to address the mental health crisis, given the significant impact these services can have on mental well-being.

Removing VAT should support businesses, benefit the economy, and we believe will improve overall mental health outcomes for citizens, ultimately fostering a healthier and more prosperous society.
